too bad we can't see the tests to see how it actually preforms.

I'm surprised more GPU makers aren't going more with this rear exhaust design. It was the norm just 2-3 geneartions. The top flow exhaust on current GPU's along with glass side panels on ATX cases just creates too much heat and you have to add a crap load of fans to the case.

My HP Omen 30L with a top exhaust 3080 and side glass panel just bottlenecks heat. So I had to get creative and add 3 additional fans to the case to cool things down.

Nvidia doesn't allow them due to that style competing with the professional cards.
I can only assume the card's 16GB of vram was low enough to not give Nvidia the jitters.

For an old article about it 🙁

An older A4000 also had 16 gigabytes of ram and was a single slot.
That card existing could have been enough to allow this card to exist.

Somebody needs to rework the AI. This GPU does NOT have a blower style cooler.

Yeah, if you think that's a blower style cooler, then do I have a bridge to sell you.
